Thread Name: Amendment XII: How to Elect a President
Subject: RE: Amendment XII: How to Elect a President
I often wonder what happened to 'Government of, for and by the people' If the popular vote, aka. 'the will of the people' can be overidden by the electoral college what good is the will of the people? Does it make sense for more to vote for candidate A, but candidate B winning the election? Not that it really matters anymore, one crook is as bad as the next, and no matter what they promised during the campaign they won't be able to do it once they take office anyway...
